purpose of overtime -minimum pay, "Required call -out" is defined as an event for which an Officer's assistance is required. With the exception of court appearances, the event referred to in the preceding sentence is one that is not anticipated and therefore unscheduled and not contiguous to the regular work shift. For required call -out or court appearance on a normal work day, a minimum three (3) hours' pay at the overtime rate will be paid for the first such call -out or court appearance, provided, however, that court appearances immediately before or after scheduled duty hours shall be deemed an extension of the shift and the three hour minimum shall not apply. Call -out minimum pay would not be given in the case of posted and scheduled details on an Officer's day off unless four (4) hours have elapsed since the Officer last worked. Officers would be paid for the actual time spent performing the scheduled activity. For required call -out or authorized work related appearance on a normal day off, a minimum five (5) hours' pay at the overtime rate will be paid for each of the first two such call -outs, provided, however, that a call - out on a normal day off immediately before or after scheduled duty hours shall be deemed an extension of the shift and the five (5) hour minimum shall not apply. For court appearance on a normal day off, a minimum five (5) hours' pay at the overtime rate will be paid, plus payment of necessary and actual expenses. For court appearances that extend through the court's lunch period and the employee is required to return on the same case that same afternoon, the employee will be paid for that period of time at the overtime rate except for a one (1) hour lunch period. At the employee's request, and with the approval of the Police Chief, compensatory time off may be granted in an amount equal to one and one-half time the overtime worked in lieu of pay. The term "compensatory time off' refers to that time earned and accrued by working overtime. Compensatory time off may be used, and replaced, without regard to frequency of use, as long as the account balance does not exceed 120 hours. Once an employee's compensatory time off balance exceeds 120 hours, the employee shall be compensated in pay. An employee may schedule accrued compensatory time off and the Department will schedule a relief employee as available. If not available, the Department will post the vacancy for a volunteer employee to sign for, on an overtime basis. The volunteer employee will only be compensated in pay for the overtime worked at the overtime rate of one and one-half times the hourly rate based on the employee's monthly salary. This process shall be consistent with the San Leandro Police Department sign-up procedures. In the event an employee is ordered by a magistrate to appear in court and does appear on a day during which the employee has called in sick, the employee will be paid overtime at the rate listed for court appearance, except that employees working the day shift shall not be paid overtime, but the hours spent at the court appearance shall not be deducted from his/her accumulated sick leave hours. Section 8. Canine Pay and Assignment Differentials 8.1. Canine Pay: Police Officers assigned as canine handlers are required to care for their assigned animal, which shall include grooming, feeding, exercising, training, bathing and all other responsibilities associated with caring for a canine. Officers assigned as canine handlers shall receive additional pay in the amount of five percent (5%) when the Officer is responsible for the care of the dog. This amount is in recognition of the additional time required to care for the animal during non -regular duty hours, which the parties estimate in good faith as an additional two hours per week. This additional pay will compensate Police Officers fully for caring for their canine during non -regular duty hours. If the Officer is unable to perform as a canine handler due to a non -work related injury or other non - work related cause, for a period that exceeds 30 consecutive days, the five percent (5%)
